Chicken Me
Well, I didn't contribute to the blackness of Friday's early morning stampede. ( I wasn't exactly afraid, just not motivated.)
One of my progeny, however, braved it with his girlfriend and girlfriend's mother. They were pushed back by angry shoppers when they tried to slink their way into the throng of desperate bargain hounds waiting for the doors to open before daybreak.
Finally inside and after taking their booty, Bri and Matt waited in line at the checkout with just one item for 40 minutes at KMart. This item was worth the wait, a princess castle for the little princess niece.
Their turn at checkout finally arrived but their relief was short-lived when the cashier curtly informed them that this item, which was the same but in a different box, was not the item on sale. There were no more of the sale item. Saddened, they left the store without the princess prize.
Happily, they did do some shopping in other stores and found some great deals, a few which were actually Christmas presents, for people other than themselves, maybe even some for the princess! *g* All's well, that ends well.
I did some shopping today, with my feet up, eating mince pie, online...much more relaxing, y'all.
